With Hereditary, Ari Aster made a statement about how great a horror mind he was; with Midsommar, he cemented his status as a modern master of the genre.

Midsommar follows a group of friends who come across a strange cult, and find their sanity and relationships tested to horrific extremes.

Anchored by its gorgeous imagery, slow-burn structure and enthralling performances, the cult horror moves patiently, but reaps many powerful rewards for those willing to take the journey. Watching it, you can't help but wonder where Aster will go next, but you know you're going to follow him.
